How would you feel about being drafted by the Pride?
It would be an honor to be selected by the Pride, and I have full confidence that whichever team selects me will not be disappointed by my hard work and loyalty to their organization.
We are a discord heavy team. How do you feel about using discord?
This is exactly what I am looking for in an organization, and I have already experienced an active discord LR during my time in Detroit. Discord is a great program and it will help us stay connected, support each other and build relationships.
Involved in any other sim leagues? If so, what sim league takes priority?
Nope, I've tried a few others but none of them really clicked with me as much as the SHL has, so I've dropped most of the others to focus primarily on this league.
How active have you found yourself to be on the SHL so far?
Very active in fact, I'm probably checking the site at least once or twice a day for interesting discussions and analysis of players, as well as looking for TPE opportunities.
Who is your preferred player render? (in case tweedle wants to make u a smexy sig)
I've been rocking Daniel Alfredsson up to this point in my career.
Anyone on the Pride you dislike or are hesitant to play with? (Feel free to PM Grapehead if you don't want to say it in public)
I don't know many people in this league yet so I am excited to meet people, and then we will see if I dislike anyone.
How many seasons would you want to stay in the SMJHL?
For as long as it takes in my development to make my way up the depth chart into the SHL. I want to help Detroit win a Four-Star cup but the ultimate goal is to play in the SHL.
What frustrates or annoys you about the SHL?
Not much, playoff length is an iffy subject for me because I love watching my player play and we are out of the playoffs. Other than that, there are alot of differing opinions on certain things and hostility in some cases but that should be expected in an online competitive environment.
Do you have aspirations of becoming an SMJHL or SHL GM someday?
Yes indeed I do, I'm currently a management intern for the Detroit Falcons where they are going to start letting me in on front-office decisions and teach me what it takes to be an SMJHL GM, then I will work my way up from there.
What keeps you busy in your everyday life? (School, Job, etc)
I currently attend a college in my region, in a program for elementary school teaching. I also have a job that I am quitting soon at a grocery store nearby and then will start earning work experience hours working directly with kids in preparation for the next step in my education. I also enjoy going outdoors and playing sports and enjoying nature.
Do you like Van Halen better with David Lee Roth or Sammy Hagar?
I don't really have an opinion on this topic
What's the last TV show you watched?
I like courtroom and police shows, so SWAT and Suits are two that I am into currently.
What's your favorite meal?
Man, you cannot go wrong with solid poutine.
Finally, please provide a gif of your choosing, and slap that sucker at the bottom of your reply!
I am not very technologically capable on this forum so I'm not sure how to post gifs

Prideful - puns included.

Love it, use it daily, most of my communication in on Discord.
Involved in any other sim leagues? If so, what sim league takes priority?
I am in a few. None take priority as of right now, they all are on different stages of the season. This was however my first sim league.

Jiggly and Beaver - Jiggles loves Spider Gwen... We may get caught up in that talk or years.. Beaver cause well I mean have you seen his beaver tail. /s. I honestly don't think I have any issues with anyone in SHL. If I do I'm oblivious about it.
How many seasons would you want to stay in the SMJHL?
1-2 more.
What frustrates or annoys you about the SHL?
Can feel a bit exclusive at time, but comes with the territory for a deep community.

Not currently, but plans change. I wouldn't be opposed to it.

Only this one here.
How active have you found yourself to be on the SHL so far?
Surprisingly active, because it's a lot of fun.
Who is your preferred player render? (in case tweedle wants to make u a smexy sig)
I don't have a preferred player render, I've used different Finnish goalies in my sigs (mostly younger ones). That's probably what I'm limiting myself to, but I haven't picked one.
Anyone on the Pride you dislike or are hesitant to play with? (Feel free to PM Grapehead if you don't want to say it in public)
I don't even know anyone, so I can't really answer that.
How many seasons would you want to stay in the SMJHL?
As many as necessary. I'd like to be the starter at some point.
What frustrates or annoys you about the SHL?
That it's actually a really complex system with lots of rules and it takes a while to understand it. I know quite a bit more now than when I started, but there's still things I don't quite understand.
Do you have aspirations of becoming an SMJHL or SHL GM someday?
To be honest, not really, at least not in the near future. I don't think I could invest that much time, but you never know.
What keeps you busy in your every day life? (School, Job, etc)
I work full time.
Do you like Van Halen better with David Lee Roth or Sammy Hagar?
I don't really care (not a fan), but probably with DLR.

I'm currenty rewatching Modern Family.
What's your favourite meal?
Indian or Italian.

The Armada is incredibly Discord heavy, so I'm down.

School. Going to uni next year so that's a thing

As many as it makes sense for me to stay (I'm not in a huge rush to move up if there's not room for me yet).
What frustrates or annoys you about the SHL?
I don't think anything really. I was mildly frustrated to find that the sim won't fully run on my mac, but I would probably make a terrible GM anyway.

See above. (nah not really)

I watched wrestlemania last night does that count? (my top three are currently Brooklyn Nine-Nine, the Good Place, and Schitt's Creek)
What's your favourite meal?
mashed potatoes and meatballs but like, an entire mountain of mashed potatoes and two or three meatballs, the proportions have to be right.

How would you feel about being drafted by the Pride?
If the Pride want me on the roster and see me in their plans, I'll be stoked
We are a discord heavy team. How do you feel about using discord?
I don't mind. If it gets super active I'll likely miss some stuff that's going on though

No one I know of at the moment!
How many seasons would you want to stay in the SMJHL?
At least 2 more seasons. Vancouver has a really good window in these next 2-3 seasons to win the championship because we have about 8 very active rookies (If you haven't taken a look at them yet, do it now. They're awesome) and I want to get at least one championship with those boys.
What frustrates or annoys you about the SHL?
Nothing at the moment has annoyed me. I'm relatively new so I haven't had all that much time to see everything happen.

I would absolutely love to become a GM one day.
